Hi, all! Could anyone confirm for me if this is correct:

the Vandercook SP15’s widest area is 32″ (per vandercookpress.info/specs), *but* that max width can be reduced to 25.5″ if the carriage crank handle is temporarily removed (per https://vandercookpress.info/critical-dimensions-for-sp-15/#comment-4349)?

I am hoping to purchase one that would need to fit through a doorway that’s 31″ wide (actually slightly over but still under 31.5″).

I’m also curious if the kinds of (pallet/dolly/?) a press delivery company would use to get the press up a single step and into a room through that door width would work, or if that’s usually wider than the press itself (even if the press itself technically fits the doorway).

Thanks very much for any advice!
